Aven's 3rd Birthday Party!

Brooks' friend Aven turned 3!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY! We were so glad we could celebrate with him and his awesome parents this past Saturday. :) We love Eli and Alla...and we're excited to love their new little one that's one the way! It was a gorgeous, hot evening...a water slide/bounce house was in their backyard (Brooks for some reason was not into it, what in the world??), kids were running around spraying each other with water guns, incredible food and the most delicious birthday cake was served, and the birthday boy Aven opened his presents. :) Other than Brooks getting his first bee sting, it was a perfect night!

And check out the photos below of the 3 amigos. :) Brooks, cousin Samson, and Aven the past 3 summers, all during month of June...at Aven's first birthday party, then Lake Powell, and of course his third birthday. So fun to see them grow up together!

Aww! So sweet!! Love the comparison photos of those little buddies...such a wonderful tradition to keep up. I know that they will love seeing these when they get older.

That cake looks so delish...and I see lots of happy faces! Little Ava looks adorable in her little yellow bow, and my goodness...can we have a whole post dedicated to your beautiful hair!!

Sad that little Brooks didn't want to bounce, but looks like he enjoyed himself otherwise. Sweet, beautiful little boy. I see so much in him that reminds me of Hudson. How I would love to see our two boys play together. (he's not a big bounce house fan either. HA.)

About Me

My name is Haley and I am lucky enough to be a wife to my best friend, Adam. He's my partner in this adventure of parenthood we're on together. I am "Mama" to our awesome son Brooks and our beautiful daughter Ava. Life is so sweet. And by recording the little moments that make me smile, laugh, cry, get butterflies, have regrets, learn lessons, gain talents, and help me grow, I'll be able to savor those moments more than once. xo
